You came to this world to be happy, don’t get distracted. That´s how we called the chat my American Express México team and I had with Juan Lucas Martin, an expert in neuroscience and the art of meditation. Before the pandemic, we spent the day with him and I never expected to be so powerful and valued by my team. So, we called him back… now more than ever, we need tools to effectively deactivate whatever produces stress. We were reminded the impact our thoughts and feelings have on our mental health. He is right to say that “If I always think the same way, the results of my future will be the same as my past.¨ So how would you like to finish this year? Think and act as if you have already achieved it. Whatever we tell our brain, that’s its reality. We did an exercise while meditating imagining we drank the juice of a lemon. 100% of us salivated, we never drank it, but we told our brain we did. I like to pray, but I must say I have a hard time meditating... this reminded me how great this practice is too. And more importantly, my team ended the session peacefully, happy and with concrete tools to keep going. #teamamex #mindfulness #motivation Fabiola Parra Saldivar Valentina Cujar Salazar Omar Crespo Daniela Rodriguez Miranda Valentina Márquez Omar Benítez Hernández Paola Tafich Kalifa Ana Gabriela Velázquez Martínez Antonio Alvarez Enrique Naranjo Gabriela Solís Rodríguez Gerardo Abraham Perez Vicenti Guadalupe Cuin Miranda Jorge Nájera Aguilar Mara Paz Valeria Carreño Anguiano
